Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the plaza of Pipa Clan, a group of elderly, sick, and women were standing behind a group of holy daughters. The villagers had grabbed the hands of the holy daughters while trying their best to talk them out of using their power.

“Lady holy daughter, you mustn’t attack. This person from Asura City is a subordinate of a god. That god is rescuing our Ancient God Lakshmi right now. After he comes out and learns that his subordinate is dead, he will be extremely furious.”

“Yes, yes, lady holy daughter mustn’t be too harsh with him.”

The holy daughters holding their music instruments frowned while looking at the villagers obstructing them. The holy daughter holding the zither looked at Chen Xiu standing on the lawn outside the wooden room, then turned toward the holy daughter in the lead.

“Sister Feng Ren, will you check what’s going on here?”

The leader of the holy daughters called Sister Feng Ren looked suspiciously at the villagers with distrust in her heart. When Pipa Clan encountered a great calamity, Liu Bailing used heavenly vision to let every holy daughter in Lakshmi City sense it so they would hurry over to help.

That was why the moment they reached Pipa Clan and saw Chen Xiu, who belonged to Asura City, they got ready to take action. However, just as they were about to attack, the villagers of Pipa Clan rushed to stop them.

According to what they said, the matter involved Ancient God Lakshmi and another god.

That confused Yunfeng even more, and she turned her attention to the villagers. “Narrate everything that happened here from the start.”

A woman with a child walked out from the villagers and respectfully saluted Yunfeng. “Lady holy daughter, it happened like this. A group of Asura City people passed through our clan’s territory. They shone a mirror on us, and the children of the village began to emit five-colored light and created a projection in the sky.

“That projection attracted the four young masters of Asura City. They attacked each other to be the ones to kidnap the children of the clan. Holy Daughter Liu Bailing and the rest of us tried to sacrifice ourselves to let the children escape into Lakshmi City, but unfortunately, all the children of Pipa Clan were caught and taken away, then this Asura person you wanted to attack walked out.

“Ridiculous!”

After hearing the villager’s story, Yunfeng’s face turned cold, and she said, “Ancient God Lakshmi has been recuperating in the divine palace ever since the campaign failed. How could she be inside the supreme treasure of Pipa Clan? You all believed their words so casually without worrying that it might be a trap set up by that god!”

The Pipa clansmen did not say anything. They just lowered their heads silently.

Yunfeng noticed that the villagers were comprised of only the elderly, sick, and women, then sighed without speaking anymore. If not for the battle to invade the Land of Ice, Pipa Clan’s last holy daughter would not have died together with the young and strong men of the clan.

Because of the battle, Pipa Clan decayed. Since they did not have the protection of the god level holy daughter nor the experienced men to guide the clan, they were left with only the elderly and children who had yet to mature. That was also why the holy daughter they chose only had the strength of an initial stage sage flux expert.

With that being the case, how could they resist the four young masters of Asura City, let alone being able to discern enemy traps.

“So where is Liu Bailing now? And where is that god of mysterious origins? We will first drive away that unknown god, then will discuss the matter of Asura City kidnapping your children with Liu Bailing.

“Although Ancient God Lakshmi doesn’t use power of belief to increase her strength and thus is the weakest among the ancient gods, this doesn’t mean that the people of other ancient gods can kidnap our people so unbridledly!”

Yunfeng’s words were cold, and when wearing a charming gongqun, she had a heroic spirit.

The villagers hemmed and hawed before pointing toward the room which Chen Xiu was guarding. “That lord god and holy daughter Liu Bailing are... in that room!”

Yunfeng didn’t reply, but a divine might erupted from her body. The cape behind her fluttered in the air, and a dazzling light burst forth from the red dot between her eyes, making her seem like a fairy descended from the heavens.

The other holy daughters looked at each other and revealed flabbergasted expressions before going after Yunfeng toward the wooden room.

Before they reached it, the door of the wooden room opened, and Li Yunmu walked out holding Liu Bailing. The girl who had a petite figure was motionless like a chick, but her cheeks burned bright red.

“Brazen thief, you dare to disrespect a holy daughter!” Yunfeng said with a zither floating above her hand in front of her.

She looked at Li Yunmu with an ice-cold face, then placed her lily white hands on the strings of the zither and began to play. Three of the holy daughters behind her also took out their music instruments to attack.

Once the sound laws appeared, the world changed, and a violent gale began to flow in all directions.

One after another, soundwaves transformed into generals riding on horses that rushed toward Li Yunmu or changed into heavenly fairies that flew into the sky while playing beautiful and charming music or caused barriers to appear one after another.

Li Yunmu looked at the generals rushing toward him and took a deep breath before forcefully blowing it toward them. A wave of violent wind appeared and scattered the soundwaves who had taken the shapes of generals.

After that, Li Yunmu lightly moved his hand toward the fairies flying in the sky, and the sky instantly returned to normal.

When faced with the layers of barriers in front of him, he took a step forward and entered them. After a moment, he walked out from the opposite end and stopped in front of the holy daughters.

One blow, one strike, and one step.

Three actions destroyed the attacks of four heavenly daughters. They were so startled that they could not speak for a long time.

Yunfeng looked at Li Yunmu, who had calm expression on his face, with her heart filled with vigilance. Just a moment ago, the four of them might not have used their full strength, but when all was said and done, it was still a combined attack of four gods. The soundwaves were filled with divine energy which was amplified by the musical instruments, so no ordinary god could resist them.

Even a peak god level powerhouse would cut a sorry figure when trying to defend themselves.

But in the end, this god of unknown origins had easily blocked them.

“Who exactly are you? Also, why aren’t you quickly releasing holy daughter Liu Bailing? Do it or you can forget about leaving Lakshmi City’s territory today! Besides, as an outsider in Lanlou, aren’t you afraid of being hunted down by the seven ancient gods?”

Yunfeng threatened Li Yunmu with her hands on the zither. If he took even one step forward, she would play the zither with her full strength.

“Seven ancient gods! Are there still seven ancient gods? Your Ancient God Lakshmi has been reduced to her soul form, and should be struck off from the list. Otherwise, how could the people of Asura City casually enter Lakshmi City’s territory?” Li Yunmu said with a smile while tightly hugging Liu Bailing, who had already lost all reason.

“Impudent! Our goddess was injured and is recovering in the divine palace. If you continue to speak rudely, we will stake all we have to exterminate you.”

The complexion of the holy daughters turned ugly.

Their expressions were filled with resolution, as if swearing their loyalty as holy daughters toward their ancient god.

Most of them were also giving death stares to Li Yunmu without paying any attention to Liu Bailing’s shadow which was constantly twisting and struggling.

Li Yunmu gave a demonic smile and said to the group of holy daughters, “Amusing, really amusing. You will naturally know whether the people of Asura City have entered the territory of Lakshmi City or not.”
